Mother Goose Refigured: A Critical Translation of Charles Perrault's Fairy Tales (Series in Fairy-Tale Studies) by Christine A. Jones was the first book I learned of at ICFA 37 and promptly preordered once I had access to my computer. Jones presented a paper about her work on this book and I was beyond excited. I don't have time today to parse my notes. But the short version of why this book is important? It is a fresh translation of Perrault in English, something that hasn't really happened ever, since it was first translated hundreds of years ago. I am often asked to recommend a Perrault translation but there aren't really any unique or definitive ones. I have some minor preferences, but I say minor because most of the differences between existing translations are minor. Based on her presentation, Jones has attempted to approach the text with new eyes which brings new perceptions of the text to the readers. I will pull my notes and share some of the intricacies and c...

Illustration by Amy Hulse, Studio Coronado So SurLaLune tries to be apolitical as much as possible. So I am going to not comment but will share the following article and links from NPR and the NRA: NRA Rewrites Fairy Tales With More Firearms, Less Bloodshed by CAMILA DOMONOSKE Adding guns to the world of the Brothers Grimm drastically reduces death rates, according to a study � well, OK, according to a couple of stories published by the NRA. So far, there are only two data points. And they're imaginary. But the trendline is clear: In the NRA's reimagined fairy tales, putting rifles in the hands of children creates a safer world. The NRA Family site published its first reimagined fairy tale � " Little Red Riding Hood (Has A Gun) " in January, and followed up with " Hansel and Gretel (Have Guns) " last week. On Twitter, inspired by the series, a few people have been inventing their own #NRAfairytales, imagining tales that begin with "once upon a time...

Hey y'all, I have been home from my trip to Orlando for about an hour now. I need a nap. Tonight I plan to start composing the posts for this week with book recommendations and such from the ICFA37 conference. For now, I wanted to share this bargain priced book--one that was discussed at the conference--that just dropped to a great bargain ebook price. The Wrath & the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh is on sale in ebook format for $2.99! That's a drop of several dollars, the lowest price I've seen for it. The book has been a bestseller and well-received. It is also part of a series with The Rose and the Dagger slated for release in April. Book description: A sumptuous and epically told love story inspired by A Thousand and One Nights Every dawn brings horror to a different family in a land ruled by a killer. Khalid, the eighteen-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, takes a new bride each night only to have her executed at sunrise. So it is a suspicious surprise when sixteen-year-old Shah...

Hello all! I send greetings from Orlando, FL where I am attending IAFA 37. After some airport adventures way too early this morning, we--hubby John is traveling with me although he's not attending the conference itself--arrived safely at the Marriott Hotel where the conference is held. I attended the opening session and the first papers session today and worked to get my tired brain into an academic mode. First up was The Opening Panel: Wonder Tales with Moderator: Gary K. Wolfe, Delia Sherman (replacing absent Terri Windling), Holly Black and Cristina Bacchilega. The discussion centered around "wonder" as a term and experience, from the perspective of both creators and scholars. Some intriguing comments and questions were shared which I don't feel up to trying to convey here tonight as I write. Quite frankly, I would fail even with the helps of my notes to convey the nuances and tenor of the discussion. Next up was the first set of sessions for the conference. It is ...

Ravenous by MarcyKate Connolly was released last month. It is a companion to last year's Monstrous which I have not featured on the blog since it is more of a Frankenstein inspired story although the reviews say there are many fairy tale elements within. This new book retells Hansel and Gretel in a way that sounds like a cross with the Snow Queen and other tales where sisters rescue brothers. And the witch obviously has some Baba Yaga elements to her. So looks like fun for readers who like to identify their fairy tale bits and pieces! Book description: For fans of tales by the Brothers Grimm, this novel, inspired by the fairytale "Hansel and Gretel," is a riveting and wholly original story of an epic quest and a heroine who will stop at nothing to save the one she loves most. A companion to the author's Monstrous, it will be enjoyed by fans of that book as well as readers who are new to this fully imagined and rich world. Also includes a bonus story, Precious, a pre...

The Great Hunt by Wendy Higgins is released this week. I am really excited with this one--I haven't read it yet, don't even have a copy--but it retells a lesser known Grimm tale, The Singing Bone . The Singing Bone falls into ATU 780 and has several variations. I haven't annotated this on SurLaLune although it has been on my consideration list for years. The tale has been retold by modern authors a few times in short fiction and poetry in the last three decades, but not often--if ever--in novel length. You can see a list of folklore variations of ATU 780 on D. L. Ashliman's site at The Singing Bone , too. The book will be part of a duology, The Eurona Duology, so there will be more to come, too from Higgins. Book description: Wendy Higgins, the author of the New York Times bestselling Sweet Evil series, reimagines a classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale with The Great Hunt, a dramatic, romance-filled fantasy with rugged hunters, romantic tension, and a princess willing to ...

The Hunger Games dipuji karena pengembangan alur cerita dan karakternya, meskipun beberapa pengulas mengkritik mengenai kesamaan antara novel Collins dengan novel Battle Royale (1999) karangan Koushun Takami.
